I'm a huge fan of Barry Eisler, particularly his John Rain series. This is the second in a new series. It's funny, this book deals with some of the same material that Berenson does in "The Midnight House". Guess those missing CIA tapes triggered more than one author's imagination.

Eisler goes heavy on the political stuff in this one. His protagonist, Ben, is a jerk but what redeams him is that he acknowledges it. Not sure I like the ending, though.
